Abstract
The problem of orbital separation of two ionosphere sounding satellites with a passive magnetic attitude control system is studied. The objective function, i.e., the expression for the altitude of a connecting chord, is derived. Optimization of the separation point in orbit and V required for separation is carried out for two separation modes: both in case of braking that completes the orbital configuration and without braking. The numerical estimation of the duration of along-track separation process and required V is done.
